Unlock your QT wallet if you encrypted it: If your wallet is encrypted you will need to unlock it first. If your Litecoin QT wallet is not encrypted, just skip this step and go to step 3. To unlock your wallet, run the following command without quotes, where 600 stands for the seconds your wallet is unlocked. wallet passphrase MYPASSWORD 600

Import the private key: Now import your private key using following command without quotes Importprivkey xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ‘label’ (if used label)

Be Patient: Now just wait…three to six minutes while your private key is being imported to Litecoin QT. Its possible Litecoin QT may freeze up, if so just leave it 15 minutes and close it. Load Litecoin QT up and you should see your newly imported address in the address book.

Destroy your old wallet: You can not send any coins back to the paper wallet that you have just imported the keys from. I suggest disposing of this completely!
